.

- You're pregnant?

How could you not tell me?

I mean, I certainly
had a right to know.

- Mitch, Mitch, it's not yours.

It's Dean's.

- How'd he take it?

- He's going to need
a few days to process.

- People think they want hope,
but hope is dangerous.

- You could be symptom free
for another 20 years.

- Or symptoms could
start tomorrow,

and I'm dead in a year.

[dramatic music]

- Call the psychiatrist.

You're clearly in
the denial stage of grief.

- Well, actually,
I've moved on to anger,

and I'm loving it.

[moaning]

[soft music]

- Colder than Lake Michigan
in February.

But when you're done,
you feel so good.

Your veins pump
that oxygenated blood.

- Arteries.

- What?

- Your arteries pump out
the oxygenated blood.

Your veins bring it back.

- Sure.

Now, as a first-timer,

it can be pretty shocking
to your system.

So just do your best,
see if you can

challenge yourself
to hit a minute.

Honestly, even 30 seconds,
you're psyched.

Any questions?

- No.

- Great. 9:20.

We'll see you then.

* *

- [breathing sharply]

- [sighs]

[hushed chatter]

Okay, so everybody knows
about the baby

and that Archer is the dad?

- It's all anyone
is talking about.

- Oh!

- Congratulations, by the way.

I'm so happy for you guys.

You know, I was always
team Dasher.

I mean, that tension
between you guys.

- Team--team what?

- Oh, that's your ship name--

Dean plus Asher is Dasher.

- No, Doris, there is no team,

and there is
definitely no ship.

- So no wedding bells?

- It was a one-time thing
that just happened.

You know, I would prefer
if everyone, you know,

would focus on their work.
- Right.

- Mm-hmm.
- Right. Totally.

And I respect your boundaries.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

But just to be honest,

we're gonna be dining on this
for a while.

Thank you.
- Mm.

- Life is never gonna
be the same.

You're gonna be a mom,
and Archer is gonna be a--

- Papa!

There he is.

Who knew you had it in you?

Bit of a May-December thing,
though, you old goat.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- I gotta say,
pretty wild, though,

starting a parenting journey
at this point in your life.

- I get the feeling
a lot of people think

it's wild and ill-advised.

Boy, I tell you, I--

I didn't feel old
until I saw the way

everybody was looking
at me today,

like I'm some sort
of medical marvel.

- Oh, come on, don't do that.

Do you know that
studies show that

parents who have kids later
in life actually live longer?

So, you know, you've got some
bonus years coming to you.

- That does not help.

- Okay, look,
all kidding aside,

I think that this is
fantastic news.

- Okay.
- Really. I do.

Who cares what
other people think?

- Eh.
- I mean, in what world

could this possibly be a--

- Tough break.

I heard about Hannah.

Doing all right?

- Sure, why wouldn't I be?

What?

I mean, obviously,
it was a shock,

but I've moved past it.

- Yeah.

In 12 hours?

- I'm with Sadie,
and I'm happy.

- Okay, yeah, good for you.

You--you got to admit, though.

I mean, come on, it's a little
quick on Archer's part, right?

Kind of like
he was just waiting there

the whole time to strike,
just circling like a shark.

- Okay. He's not a shark.

We were broken up, and they
were consenting adults.

- Just saying.

Da-dum, da-dum.

Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun,
dun, dun, dun, dun, dun--

- I have a patient.

Okay.

Miles Weller.

I'm Dr. Ripley.

And you've been experiencing
some leg pain.

- And a fever.

- It's nothing.

I went swimming in the lake
a couple nights ago,

probably caught a cold.

Just a little achy,
but she worries.

- Well, I can't have you dying
on me before the wedding.

- You two are getting married?

- That's why
we were out on the lake.

I was proposing.

- Well, congratulations.

- My mom is gonna freak,

marrying a guy
I only met a month ago.

- We met in person a month ago.

We've been together
for over a year.

- Online?

- It's crazy, right?

- Well, crazy worked.

Now, let's take a look
at these legs.

These scars look
pretty swollen.

- Yeah, I was in a pretty bad
car accident recently.

That's why it took
so long for us to meet.

They had to rebuild both my
legs, two different surgeries.

Last one was three months ago.

- Well, they look
pretty infected--

would explain the discomfort
and the fever.

But we'll get an X-ray
and some blood work

to find out for sure, okay?

- See?

Listen to your almost-wife.

- [chuckles]

- Please, I need help!

- What is it?

- We were walking in,
and this car pulled up

and dumped this kid
on the sidewalk.

He's diaphoretic.

- Diaphoretic?

Kid, how old are you?

- That's what Will said.

- Will? Will who?
Who are we talking about?

- Dr. Halstead?

- Which room's open?

[dramatic music]

.

- [groans] It hurts.

- I know it does, bud,
but I got you.

- How long have you
had the pain?

Is it cramping or sharp?

- Both.

Oh, I'm gonna throw up.

- Oh, I got you.

- Sorry.
- It's all right.

- [retches]
- Okay.

- Good catch.

- Have you ingested
any substances?

Drugs? Alcohol?

- His abdomen is distended.

- Okay, let's get him
on the bed.

You got him?
One, two, three, easy.

- [groans]

- Doris, grab an NG tube.

We need to decompress
his stomach.

- Whoa! Okay, hey.

Thank you,
but I got this from here, okay?

Bolus him a liter of LR,

and give him
4 milligrams of Zofran.

- This is a bowel obstruction.

You risk him aspirating
if you wait.

I was a doctor here
for nearly a decade.

This kid needs an NG tube.
- Great.

Hey, welcome back, all right?

But this kid was
a drop and dash, right?

That's clear intoxication
or an OD.

- That's not the case here.

- I understand
that you wanna help,

but you're gonna
have to wait outside.

- If you don't
clear his stomach--

- This is not your call
to make right now!

- What is going on in here?

- This guy's trying to tell me
how to treat my patient.

We don't have enough
information yet.

- We do.

He's tachy with abdominal pain

and an old laparotomy scar.

- I had just started my exam.

I didn't--
- Get an NG tube.

[machine beeping]

- Hey, Trini, I need
a surgical consult.

Can you page Dr. Lenox?

- She's in with a patient.

But--oh, Dr. Archer,
Ripley needs a consult.

- Oh, it can wait.

Yeah.
- That's all right.

What can I do for you?

- I have a patient in 5
with leg pain.

He has infected incisions
he says are from a car wreck,

but got some X-rays.

- That doesn't look like
hardware from an accident.

- No. No, it doesn't.

- I'm just saying
they're gonna win the division.

- News flash.

- Enthusiasm of youth.

Dr. Halstead,
as I live and breathe.

- Oh, Ms. Goodwin,
good to see you.

- Wow.

You make quite an entrance.

- Well, I wasn't trying
to be dramatic.

We were just stopping by to say
hello and heard tires screech.

- It almost hit us.

- Well, I'm glad
you're okay, Owen.

Is Dr. Manning with you?

- No, Natalie's back
in Seattle, working.

- How's she doing?

- Well, she's pregnant,
actually.

- What?
- Congratulations!

- Thanks. We're having a boy.

- How far along?

- 20 weeks.

She's feeling good,
so I thought

we'd catch a Bears game,

have a little
boys' weekend, right?

- I guess.

- Well, we are really glad
that both of you stopped by.

It's a wonderful surprise.

- Yeah, me too.

- Okay, so you are experiencing
morning sickness?

- I can't keep anything down.

- We're worried that the baby's
not getting enough nutrients.

- Have you lost
any weight recently?

- No.

I read morning sickness
is supposed to subside

after 12 weeks, but it's like

something is rotting
in my stomach.

- Oh.

I'm sorry to hear--
- [belches]

So sorry.
Just anxious about this.

- Sympathy indigestion.

Anytime I have something,

Jeremy gets it ten minutes
later two times worse.

My back is achy,
he slips a disk.

I catch a cold, he has man flu.

- The fever was real.

The thermometer was broken.

- Okay.

All right.

From what I am seeing,
your baby looks great.

Heartbeat is strong.

Measuring on track
for 24 weeks,

but I would like
to do some labs,

see if we can figure this out.

- Thank you.

- All right, Mr. Weller.

You definitely picked up
a soft-tissue infection

from your dip in the lake
on both tibias.

- Okay.

So antibiotics then.

- It's not quite that simple.

This is Dr. Archer.

I asked him to consult
after seeing your X-ray.

- You didn't have
a car accident.

You had leg-lengthening
surgery.

- [sighs]

Please don't--
don't tell my fiancée.

Okay? She--she doesn't know.

- We won't.

We can't, in fact.

HIPAA.

- Oh, thank God.

- But the tissue
around the rods

is inflamed,
which is a problem.

- Problem how?

- In order to lengthen
your legs,

your surgeon had
to break the bones

and insert titanium rods.

- I know that.

- I'm mentioning it because

the rods have
a gear system that

allows them
to increase in length

so your body can generate
new bone in the gap.

Those moving pieces
provide crevices

for infections to hide.

- Which is why
the safest course would be

to remove the implants.

- Are you saying
that I'm gonna go back

to being short again?

- You'll return
to your initial height.

Yes.

- I used my life savings
on this surgery.

- Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Weller,

but I believe
the die has been cast.

- No.
- Yes.

If the infection gets worse,

you could be looking
at full-blown sepsis,

organ failure.

- I don't care!

I'm not gonna let you
take the rods out.

- These rods are the problem.

I can't treat you
if I don't remove them.

- These rods.

- What's that?

- Theserods are the problem.

What if we replace them?

- With what?

- With a standard IM nail.

No moving pieces.

- Yes!

Yes, please, do that.

[soft tense music]

- Can I talk to you
outside for a moment?

So you asked for a consult,
and you contradict me.

- He didn't like your plan,
so I pivoted.

- You saw his scans.

There's 60 millimeters
of new bone there.

The second we take the rod out,
it's gonna collapse.

- The patient gets a say, Dean.

You don't get to go around

doing whatever
the hell you want.

- Yeah, yeah.

I think--I think
Mr. Weller might be

letting his emotions
cloud his judgment.

A chat with Dr. Charles
might be good.

Maybe he might be able to talk
some sense into everybody.

- Hey, can you get
basic prenatal labs

for the patient in treatment 4?
- Yeah.

Excuse me, ma'am,
can I help you?

- Uh, yes, I, um--

- You can't be back here.

- I know.

I--I don't feel very well.

- Okay, well, I'm sorry
to hear that,

but we need you to wait
in the waiting room, okay?

- [laughing] Hey.

Oh, I heard you were
running around here.

- And I heard
congratulations are in order?

- Oh, you too.

Oh, my!

What?

- Nothing.

Just didn't have you and Archer
on my bingo card.

- Yeah, never a dull moment
around here.

- Uh, sorry,
I gotta check something.

- Yeah.

- Hey, how's the kid?

- Stable. Yeah.

He's on fluids, and the NGT
put out about a liter.

- And the X-ray showed
a blockage?

- It did. Yeah.

We won't know what
until we do a CT.

Look, I really appreciate you
bringing him in

and helping out earlier,
but I got it from here, okay?

I promise
I'm a very capable doctor,

and we are gonna take
very good care of Jasper.

All right?

- Where'd he go?

- Maybe they brought him
upstairs for a CT.

- No, they don't usually
rip out IVs.

- Looks like he threw up again.

[tense music]

Wait.

- What?

- Look at this.

- Is that a balloon?

- Yeah.

And judging by the size
of the obstruction,

this is not the only one
inside of him.

- This kid's a drug mule.

.

- The blockage was
caused by the drug packets

he was smuggling.
- Looks like it.

But we haven't done a CT.
- What kind of drugs?

- Quick strip came back
positive for cocaine.

- If one of those
packets breaks--

- He's in a lot of trouble.

- Look, the good news is

security's not seen him exit,

so he's somewhere
still in the hospital.

- Let's split up.
- Yeah.

- All right.

- Up.
- [laughs]

- That any better?
- Yeah.

Yes, thank you.

But honestly,
I think I'm just starving.

- Got you on
a liquid diet, huh?

That is rough.

I'm sorry, I'm Dr. Charles.

Look, you didn't hear it
from me, okay?

But ear, nose, and throat
has a stash

of Italian ices from Mario's.

And if you ask Nurse Trini
out there very nicely,

I'm pretty sure she'll take you
over there, snag a couple.

- I'm on it.

- Thanks.

That's nice.

- Miles, do you mind if I sit?

I was hoping we could have
a little chat.

- Ah, thought
this might be coming.

Psychiatrist?

So they think that I'm crazy.

- No, absolutely not.

Look, your care team is
concerned that in the moment,

you might make a decision with
lasting health implications.

And I just wanna make sure
you're seeing the situation

clearly, that's all.

- [chuckles]
Doubt you'd understand.

What are you, 6'2"?

- 6'3", in my heyday.

But trust me,
plenty of hang-ups.

- See, that's the thing.

It's not about hang-ups
or how I feel.

It's how I'm
objectively treated.

Being a 5'4" man,
you miss out on things.

- How so?

- You don't get jobs.

You don't get respect
from other men.

And worst of all, women.

They don't even reject you.
They look past you.

You know,
that's not insecurity.

That's reality.

And I got sick of it.

So I went on this dating site
and, for fun,

switched my height to 5'10".

- How--how'd it go?
What happened?

- [sighs]

The world opened up.

These women, who in real life
only saw me as a friend,

suddenly saw me as desirable.

[soft music]

And then I met Emerald.

And she was perfect.

And she wanted to meet.

And I knew it would be over

as soon as she saw
what I really look like.

- Buddy, look,
I completely get that

you're scared about
what might happen

if Emerald learns the truth.

You know,
people are unpredictable.

I'm not gonna sit here
and tell you

she's just gonna accept you,
you know, if you come clean.

I don't know.

What I do know is that if
you don't get these rods out,

you are facing certain
physical deterioration

and possibly even death.

I mean, you understand that,
right?

So all I'm saying is,
I don't know, like,

why not just place
a little faith in this woman

that you're in love with?

And not for nothing, seems
pretty smitten with you too.

* *

- I can't take that chance.

I mean, I hear you.

I do.

But this past month hasn't been
the best month of my life.

It has been the only month
of my life.

- Okay, a few more deep
breaths.

- I thought the labs
came back clean.

- They did, but they don't
test for everything.

As May mentioned, this feeling
of having something rotting

in your stomach, and you
were having symptoms, too,

so I thought there
might be a chance that

this is not morning sickness,

that you're carrying
a bacteria, H. pylori.

Here, that oughta do it.

- And how do you get H. pylori?

- Usually contaminated foods,

but it can also be transferred
person to person

through saliva, which is why
I think you both might have it.

- This is from that hot dog
cart you go to at lunch.

- You can't know that.

Plus, I'm not gonna apologize
for having great taste.

- [laughs]

- Okay, well, we will need you
to get tested as well.

But the good news is,
if it is H. pylori,

a couple antibiotics
can clear it up.

- Fantastic.

One more thing, though--

can H. pylori cause
constant heartburn?

I--I pound these things
all day.

- See?

It's always worse for him--
man flu, all over again.

- Okay, well, why don't I
grab you a nurse,

and we will get you checked in.

- Great.

- Hey!

You got something?
- Yeah. Maybe.

Security said a bathroom
by the pharmacy's

been wedged shut
from the inside.

[knocking]
- Open the door.

- What's going on?

- There's no answer
when I knock,

but I can hear someone
moving around.

- Jasper?

Hey, it's Dr. Halstead, buddy.

Open up the door.

- [groans]

- We need to get in now.

[soft music]

- Jasper.
- I'm fine.

I don't want your help.

- Hey, you're not
in any kind of trouble.

We're just trying
to make sure you're okay,

take care of you, buddy.

- The drugs in your body
are blocking your intestines

and making them expand.

That's what's causing the pain.

- Eventually, they will pop,

and it's gonna be very hard
to save your life.

- It's just...my older
brother's taken care of me

since I was eight,
just the two of us.

And then he hurt his back
last year.

But he--he had to keep
working, you know?

- Opioids.

- They were gonna kill him

unless I did this
to pay off his debt.

- Who's they?

Jasper, we are
running out of time.

- I know you're trying to help,

but if I don't get them
these drugs,

we're both already dead.

* *

- You know, I have
a younger brother.

We lost our mom when we were
a little older than you were.

He was all I had.

We would do anything
for each other, still would.

So I promise,
as an older brother,

I can tell you he would not
want you to make

this sacrifice for him.

He wouldn't want to lose you.

So if you truly want
to do right by him,

let us help you.

.

- We got the results
back from Jasper's CT.

He has 59 bags of cocaine
in his body.

- 41 are piled above
his ileocecal valve,

and the other 18 are
in his large intestines.

- But he's refusing surgery
because he doesn't want us

confiscating the drugs.

- And he's smuggling this
across the border?

- With a couple other friends

who were supposed to be
helping him.

And they dropped him off here.

- Any idea
where his parents are?

- Not in the picture.

He lives
with his older brother,

but he's MIA.

- Well, I don't see
any way around surgery,

but I'll fast-track this
with DCFS

to make sure
he goes somewhere safe

once he leaves the hospital.

- All right, then.
Keep me posted.

- Okay.

Dr. Halstead,
stick around, please.

- I feel like
I'm about to get in trouble.

- Well, I imagine
it's a familiar feeling.

[chuckles]

- You want me to back off?

- I do.

- Dr. Frost complained?

- No, he didn't say a word,

but this isn't your patient.

- But when Jasper came in--

- You're not a doctor
at this hospital anymore.

What's going on here?

We've got this,

and you've got your own kid
waiting for you.

- I don't know.

I think Owen kind of hates me.

- Well, that can't be true.

- Well, it feels that way.

I mean, the last few months,
I just haven't

been able to do anything right.

- He's probably troubled
by the baby news.

- Of course.

But it's more than that.

I mean, he's fine with Natalie.

But with me, it's different.

And I thought
some one-on-one time

might do us some good,
but it just hasn't.

And today, I don't know.
I guess I thought--

- You thought,
if I can't help Owen,

maybe I can help
this other kid instead.

- That obvious, huh?

- Yeah, well,
a good heart is hard to hide.

[pensive music]

Look, parenting is a marathon.

You can't get wrapped up
on how they feel

about you at one moment.

You just have to do
the best you can

and trust that over
the long haul, they'll see it.

That said,
get Owen to the game.

- Thank you, Ms. Goodwin.

* *

- I don't think that
your patient, Mr. Weller,

is gonna change his mind.

- Well, that leaves us
in a tough spot.

- Maybe not. I--

- I told you,
the leg will not support--

- I know.

I called his surgeon,
Dr. Conway in Baltimore.

She said the same thing.

- Well, then, what
are we talking about here?

- She also said there's
a specific external fixator

that can hold the leg
while we remove the rod.

- Have you ever done
anything like this before?

- No.
- Have you ever--

- But the rep can be
in the room with us,

talking with Dr. Conway
directly.

- Even still, this is
a grueling operation.

It is incredibly--

- I'm not afraid of
a tough surgery, Dean.

- What, are you kidding me?
- Fellas, please, please, look!

Dean, I'm getting you don't
love Mitch's plan, all right?

But the patient won't
even entertain yours.

So Hail Mary or not,
I don't see

like we have another option.

So how about we drop
the schoolyard crap

and get Mr. Weller
into surgery?

Okay? Good? Good.

- Good.

- I'm sensing that might
have been about me.

- Um...

- Should I talk to them?

- Maybe now's not
the best time.

And you know, not for nothing,

I think they might have
a little more

hashing out to do before they
start acting like grownups.

- Yeah, and how long does
hashing it out normally take?

- With those two, unknown.

But let's be optimistic.

- Yeah.

Great.

- Hey, Owen.

- Dr. Halstead.

- Don't worry.
I'm on my way out.

- No, no.

Jasper actually
is asking for you.

- But can't you be
a part of the surgery?

- Unfortunately, no.

I'm not a surgeon.

- But what if something
goes wrong?

- Hey, don't go there.

I promise.

I know this is scary,
but the doctors

that are doing your surgery,
they're the best.

- Yeah.

We got you, Jasper.

I promise.

- Yeah, you're
gonna be just fine.

- I just--

I wish my brother were here
so I didn't have to be alone.

- You're not, bud.

Hey, you're not.

- I know you can't be
in the surgery,

but can you at least stay
to make sure it turns out okay?

[soft music]

* *

- Of course.

I'll be right here.

- Okay, this might be
a little cold.

- This is borderline
embarrassing.

- While we wait for the labs,

I thought we can check
your gallbladder

since there's always
a chance of gallstones.

- Ooh, that is cold.
[chuckles]

- Seriously?

Listen, don't tell us
the gender.

We wanna be surprised.

- You should know,
twins run in my family.

- Oh. [laughs]

I'm sorry I'm being
so ridiculous.

- Wouldn't have it
any other way.

- Okay.

- That's it?

- Yes, for now.

There is no sign of gallstones.

But I'm gonna check your labs,
and I'll be back.

- Thanks.

- Hey, Trini, you need to get
someone from GI down here,

as well as Dr. Kingston
if she's available.

- Dr. Kingston
for the H. pylori case?

- Yeah.

- She has cancer?

- No.

But I think he does.

[suspenseful music]

.

- More irrigation, please.

[machines beeping]

Okay, that's good,
that's good, that's good.

And what--what
the hell is that?

What is that?

- That's me.

So you're gonna wanna use
the extractor

and connect it to the--sorry,
can you move your hand--

the intramedullary nail there.

Yep. Mm-hmm.

- Got it. Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.

[machines beeping]

- Okay.

All right, got that.

Table down!

Let's knock this thing out.

All right.

Give me some space.

And we're off.

- It stopped.

It stopped coming out.

- No, he seems to be
having trouble.

The older one.

- [grunting]

- I think it might just need
a little more force.

- What?

- I said I think it might
just need a little more force.

- Oh.

Dr. Conway agrees
with Dr. Ripley.

- Does she?
- Mm-hmm.

She does.

- Hey, you wanna try?

Be my guest.

- Sure.

- I don't understand you.

You think I have
stomach cancer?

- When we did the ultrasound,
I saw ascites,

a buildup of fluid
in the abdomen,

which is
a pretty strong indicator.

So I called Dr. Kingston,
and we did your CT.

- Unfortunately, it has all
of the markers of cancer.

- And this is
from the H. pylori?

- H. pylori is very common.

One in three people
in the U.S. has it.

But most cases have
no symptoms,

or they're mild
and treatable like yours.

There are a tiny number
of cases

that lead to gastric cancer.

- And how bad is it?

Is gastric cancer
one of the bad ones?

- It depends on many factors.

And once we do the PET scan
and the biopsy,

we will know more.

- Okay.

- Is that the real answer?

- No.

The real answer is,
gastric cancer is a bad one.

But you are young,
and you are healthy,

and I'm a hell of a doctor.

[apprehensive music]

I'm not going anywhere.
We're gonna fight this.

- Oh, my God.

This is all my fault.

- No, this is not
anybody's fault.

- I trivialized what
you were going through.

I--I mocked it
when this whole time I--

- Hey, it's gonna be okay.

- It's not okay!

We--we have a baby on the way.

What--what are we going to--

- Shh. Look at me.

Look at me. Okay? Hey.

Hey, we're gonna
get through this, yeah?

- I'm sorry.
- We are.

- I'm so sorry!

- We're gonna
get through this.

- I'm so sorry! No.

I'm so sorry!

[sobbing]

* *

- No, I haven't gotten in yet.

I told them.

They said I'm next up.

- There you are.

You're not watching the game?

- It's halftime.

It's tied up.

Would have been a good one.

- Yeah.

It's hard having parents
in medicine--

feels like someone else
is always more important.

And I imagine you're
thinking it's only gonna

get worse with a new baby.

- Yeah, maybe.

- You know, my oldest, David,
was around your age

when his brother
Michael was born.

He was not happy with it.

- It's not like I'm mad.
I just--

- No, I get it.

You know, David felt
the same way,

and I know
he loved his brother.

But there just wasn't
any time for anyone.

No time to talk.

So you know what I did?
- What?

- I started writing him
short notes every day.

At some point,
he wrote me back.

And eventually, I got
a journal, just for us.

It was our secret way
to communicate.

And you know what I found out?

Sometimes it's easier
to say how you're feeling

when no one is looking.

Give it a try.

Write a note to Will,
just a few words,

and see what happens.

[tense music]

[alarm beeping]

- What is that?

- This bag is torn.

His system is
flooding with cocaine.

Start a nicardipine trip.

- On it.

Temp's rising.

- Let's get a cooling
blanket in the room.

- Meds are in.

- Hopefully, it's not too much.

- He's throwing more PVCs.

- Hang 2 grams of magnesium.

- Get the crash cart ready.

- Vitals are stabilizing.

- Okay.

Let's keep moving before
that can happen again.

- Oh, excuse me?

I am so sorry.

I think I left my pur--

- Your purse?

Yes, we found it
and had it sent up

to the surgical waiting room.

- Oh, thank goodness.
Thank you.

I did not need to add canceling
my credit cards this day.

- Yeah.

- We are really just
going to let her go out

and marry this guy
when he's been

lying to her about who he is?

- Well, Trini,
I mean, the law kind of

prevents you from saying
anything, but I don't know.

Even if it didn't,
I'm not so sure I would.

- Really? Why?

- I don't know, because
we have a limited amount

of time on this Earth,

and Miles has figured out
a way to see some joy from it.

So who am I to destroy that?

- And Emerald,
doesn't she get a say?

I mean, what else
is he lying about?

- I don't know.

All I can tell you is that
my--my first date with CeCe,

borrowed a buddy's BMW
and got us

front-row seats
to a Van Morrison concert

I certainly could not afford.

- My first date with Miguel, I
wore Spanx, 5 pounds of makeup,

and pretended UFC
was interesting.

Together eight years.

Still no ring, though.

- But this is beyond Spanx.

- Yeah.

I mean, obviously, this
is an extreme example.

But when we're courting,
aren't we always trying

to put forth
a different, you know,

better version of ourselves?

When it comes to love,
aren't we all liars?

- Maybe.

But if I'd known who
my ex-husband was

before we walked
down the aisle,

I would have run the other way.

[metal clanking]

- The rod should slide in
when the leg is hyperflexed.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

It's not lined up.

- Because you didn't
ream out enough bone

from the intramedullary canal,
and now the rod's too big.

- If I took out any more bone,
there wouldn't be

enough cortex
to leave the tibia intact.

You need to really hit it.
- Yeah, I am.

- Force it to line up.

- I am really hitting it.
Remember how I got the rod out?

- I remember you
helping to get it out.

All's I'm saying is that
you might be a little tired,

that's all.

Just hold the leg.

Hold the leg. okay?

All right.

Come here.

[tense music]

* *

All right.

[clanking]

- Stop, stop!

You're gonna blow
the back of the tibia out.

- The rod should slide in
when the leg is hyperflexed.

- You keep saying
the same thing.

Doesn't Dr. Conway have
anything else to add?

- They're wondering if you
have anything else to add.

She says the two of you clearly
have some issues to work out.

- Oh, okay.

All right,
so can't force the rod.

So we need to adjust the bone
so that it does line up, right?

- I could lever
the proximal segment

more anterior while also--

- Pushing the distal
segment more posterior

and get the guide rod
and the bone to line up.

- Then hammer the nail in.

But it could also
shatter the leg.

We'll need to be quick.

- Okay.

On my count. Ready?

One, two, three.

Is it lined up?

- Yeah, I think so.

- All right, hit it.

Harder. Again, go.

Harder.

- I don't want
to smash your face in.

- Sure, you do. Swing.

One more. It's close.

All right, we got it.
It's in. It's in.

- Yay!

.

- Emerald.

- Is Miles out of surgery?

Did it go okay?

- It went great.

He's gonna be fine, make--
make a full recovery.

- Oh, thank God.

I know that he said it was
nothing to worry about,

but then I started to think,

what if something
happened in surgery, and...

[inhales sharply]
Oh, God. I'm sorry.

This is really embarrassing.

You just said he was fine.

- Come on.

It's your fiancé.

You are allowed to be relieved.

- He's just such
a good guy, you know?

I moved my whole life
to Chicago for him.

Sorry. When can I see him?

- Probably moving up
to his room right about now.

You wanna go find him?

- Yeah, yes. Thank you.

- Gosh.

I--you know, cannot believe
that you finally met in person,

like, a month ago, and now
you're getting married?

Man, that is such a big step.

I'm--I'm just curious,
do you ever find yourself--

I don't know, like,
wondering, like--

- Listen, do you mind
not mentioning

the cigarette to Miles?

He would never marry a smoker.

[soft music]

Sorry, what were you saying?

- Nothing.

Nothing.

I'm--I'm just excited
for you guys.

Yeah.

High hopes for your future.

- Thanks.

- Wanna go say hi?

- Yeah.

- You didn't do
so bad in there.

- Yeah, well, you too, I guess.

And, um--

Sorry about earlier.

You know, what I said.

- Me too.

You know, in the moment,
sometimes things happen.

[soft music]

- Yeah.

And, uh...

Congratulations on the baby.

- Thanks, Mitch.

* *

- Pick up some ring forceps.

- PVCs are gone,
looking stable.

- Oh, excuse me, ma'am.

- Whoa! Sorry.

This is a sterile space.

- I need the balloons
he swallowed.

- I'm sorry. Who are you?

- Okay. Easy now.

Easy.

- You, put them in here.

- I don't--I can't just--

- Now!
- It's okay.

You can have them.

Do what she says.

- They used to be right here.

- 2%.

- I'm looking, bud!

Hey, Hannah, amazing.

There used to be a bin
of old chargers and cords.

- Yeah, that got moved.

- Perfect.
- Here.

- 1%, less than two minutes
to go in the fourth quarter.

- All right.

And you think I'd be good
at high-pressure situations.

Here we are.

- Finally.

- Phew.

You're a lifesaver.

- How's your kid
with the blockage?

- Yeah, there was a scare
earlier, but I think...

- What?

- No one's moving in the OR.

- What? That's weird.

- Owen, turn the tablet off.

- But they're in the red zone!

- Owen, do it now.

Hey, and get behind
the couch for me, would you?

Go, go.

Let's get security.
- Yeah.

- Just stay calm.

Just take it easy.

- Good.

Yeah.

Just like that. No.

No, no, no, no.

This isn't all of them.

Where's the rest?

- They're still inside of him.

- Get them.

- We can't just grab them out
like that.

- Cut them out.

- He'll die.

- Not my problem.

- That is not happening.

I won't allow it.

- Do you wanna die?

- No.

But it doesn't
scare me anymore.

I get it.

You think what's most important

is getting these drugs.

But I'm telling you,
and I want you to hear me,

that is not a choice
that exists anymore.

So your real choice is
walking out of here right now

with what you already have
or leaving in handcuffs.

[dramatic music]

- Hector, call security.

Everybody else,
back to the table.

- Hey! Hey!

[gunshots, people screaming]

- Taking my 15.

Want anything
from the coffee truck?

- Sounds good.
- No, thank you.

- Excuse me, Doctor.
Phone call for you.

Said it's urgent.

- Hello?

- Dr. Manning,
it's Sharon Goodwin.

- Ms. Goodwin.

- I'm so sorry to be
calling you like this,

but something has happened.

- What do you mean?

- It's Owen.

He's been shot.
